7 Weeks

Will, I can't believe you are 7 weeks. I  feel like I say this every week, but it's true.  The time is already passing by so quickly and you are getting so big.  You are the center of our life and mommy and daddy love you so much.

At 7 weeks you weigh a little over 10 pounds and are 22 1/2 inches long.  You are filling out and looking less like a newborn and more like a baby.  We are probably bias, but you are so incredibly cute.  You are a mellow baby, one that does not cry much.  (Thank God.)  You are becoming more alert and aware of your surroundings.  You hold your head up, but are slightly wobbly.  You love to snuggle in the napes of our necks and you sound like a little goat.  We call you our Willie Goat.  You love to have your back rubbed.  Your eyes haven't officially changed color and one sometimes looks brown, but the other consistently looks grayish-blue.  You love Liam and just stare at him when he is near you.  You are beginning to smile and your first smile was with your Aunt Molly.  You fixate on objects and freeze...it looks like you are flashing gang signs.  We swaddle you in the evenings, but during the day mommy let's you sleep unswaddled and you spread out.  As always, you are loved...by so many.
